Sometimes it’s nice to mix up mojito recipes a bit and with fresh fruit and different herbs as we did in the Pineapple Mojito and the Blackberry Mojito. In this drink strawberries and basil pair nicely with mint and Bacardi Limon Rum to keep your mouth satisfied in the hot sun.

2 ounces Bacardi Limon Rum
1/2 ounce home made simple syrup
1/2 teaspoon Gourmet Garden Basil (found in the fresh produce section)*
